Old Photograph Edenhall Hospital Pinkieburn Musselburgh Scotland

Old photograph of Edenhall Hospital in Pinkieburn by Musselburgh, Scotland. The original Edenhall Hospital was built in 1915 as a hostel for limbless ex-servicemen in the mansion house of Edenhall in Kelso, Scottish Borders. There was accommodation for 36 patients and the establishment was entirely run by eight voluntary lady workers. It was soon obvious that the accommodation was insufficient and in 1917 with the help of a £10,000 donation from the Red Cross the committee acquired the house and ground of Pinkieburn near Musselburgh. Originally there were 43 beds but wings were added to the mansion house to increase the accommodation to 100 beds. In 1920 the Ministry of Pensions took over the running of the hospital and it was now opened to convalescent cases as well as the limbless; in the period up to the Second World War it then became the main Ministry of Pensions Hospital in Scotland providing general medical and surgical treatment for war pensioners. During the war the Hospital expanded considerably to provide a total bed strength of 312. By 1953 the number of patients was declining and on the amalgamation of the Ministry of Pensions and the Ministry of National Insurance the opportunity was taken to transfer the responsibility for running the hospital to the National Health Service.

Old Photograph Fort Augustus From Loch Ness Scotland

Old photograph of Fort Augustus from a boat on Loch Ness, Scotland. In the aftermath of the Jacobite rising in 1715, General Wade built a fort, taking from 1729 until 1742, which was named after the Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland. Wade had planned to build a town around the new barracks and call it Wadesburgh. The settlement grew, and eventually took the name of this fort. The fort was captured by the Jacobites in April 1745, just prior to the Battle of Culloden.

Old Photograph Sheep Loch Earn Scotland

Old photograph of sheep by Loch Earn Scotland. Loch Earn is a freshwater loch in the central highlands of Scotland, in the districts of Perthshire and Stirling. The name is thought to mean Loch of Ireland, and it is thought that this might derive from the time when the Gaels were expanding their kingdom of Dál Riata eastwards into Pictland.
